What B2Ed does Helps adults experiencing or recovering from mental ill health to access lifelong learning (clients are mainly referred). By: Meeting with the client Agreeing a joint action plan Providing ongoing information, advice, guidance and support, as required Discrete courses as stepping stone Giving MH awareness training to colleges

Current level of service Some numbers >1700 clients since May new clients (NC) in 2004 Full time client worker caseload: 110 NC/yr 83% clients start courses within 9 months 75% ongoing attendance 96% client satisfaction

Sources of client feedback Verbal 3 monthly monitoring calls Exit questionnaire (after 1 year) Course feedback forms

Client feedback: reasons for success 1)The approach of the client advisors “Encouragement, support, friendly, welcoming, understanding, patient, respectful” “good information” (i.e. professional) “supportive without being pushy”

Client feedback: reasons for success 2) Ongoing support / pro-active follow-up “the frequent phone calls are helpful” “you have kept me informed and taken an interest in finding out how I am doing and whether I need further support”

Client feedback: reasons for success 3) Building self-esteem and confidence “Helped me to push myself forward” “persuaded I had useful skills” “gave me confidence to do NVQ”

“I didn’t expect this at 70 years of age. It has done more for me than the medication and also made a childhood dream come true – to do art.” Quote from one of our clients in the Mental Health and Social Exclusion Report from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
